- Cleanse your face every morning with lukewarm water to avoid removing natural oils.
- Use a gentle and mild cleanser formulated for facial use. Avoiding chemical irritants means less facial breakouts.
- Don’t over scrub. The American Academy of Dermatology suggests that you should only use your fingertips to apply a cleanser.
- Don’t over exfoliate. You can create more irritation to sensitive skin. Limit exfoliating to once or twice a week.
- Pat your face dry using a clean towel. Rubbing can cause irritation.
- Always apply a good moisturizer within minutes after cleansing to hold in moisture.
- Use a broad spectrum sunscreen with at least a SPF 30 or more to protect your skin from the sun’s damaging UVA/UVB rays.
- Be sure to cleanse your face before bedtime to remove dirt and grime and always apply a moisturizer.
- Get a good night’s sleep.
- Change your pillowcase frequently, at least once a week.
